Top 10 Gluten-Free Spots to Discover in Holt

Pauline Knowles

We came across this wonderful place by accident. It is in a little courtyard type place off the main street and the setting is lovely. There are tables in the courtyard as well as in the garden room. We were made very welcome and shown to a sweet in the garden room, very tastefully decorated most of the tables were full of people enjoying traditional afternoon tea that looked delicious. We only wanted a quick snack so opted for tea (decaf) and a tea cake for my husband and a piece of Victoria sandwich for me. The tea arrived complete with a tea cozy and a plate to put the tea strainer on once it was brewed to our taste. The tea was full of flavour and not the dusty leaves you so often get. My husband enjoyed his teacake and I can honestly say my Victoria sandwich was beautiful, very light and filled to perfection. It was a gluten free cake which really surprised me because GF cakes can often be heavy. The person that made this has a real talent for baking. When we are next in Holt I will definitely be back to test and afternoon tea. The tea was supplied by a lady a couple of doors down from the café and we treated ourselves to a bag to bring home. The gentleman that run the cafe were very attentive but not annoyingly so. Would definitely recommend a visit.

Have heard about the magical powers of this place, but never before ventured this far. To be fair, if you didn't know what it was you would probably drive past it without realising - which is possibly part of its hidden gem charm. As you drive in, you have a beautiful view over the Wiltshire countryside - and even on a fairly chilly March day it was just glorious to behold. The cafe itself is very easy to access, nice disabled parking - thank you. There are tables and sheds outside for al fresco but we decided to dine indoors. Looks very inviting as you walk in and all the staff looked genuinely happy - which is nice - and we were seated within a couple of minutes. Good choices for all tastes, including vegan, veggie and gluten free options. Decided to go for the Veggie Breakfast. The Husband had the hash browns. Both meals came out quickly, and both were delicious. If I had one niggle, my beans were cold - but I eat in a funny order so it was more my fault than the cafe's. Also had a glorious hot chocolate - with vegetarian marshmallows (thank you), while him indoors had a pot of tea. Overall, great location, fantastic staff, very good food. If you're in the area, it's worth a look... but don't tell anyone else... They also do lovely cakes, but I wasn't allowed to sample one... Maybe next time!😀
